I would simply like to add something I encountered in relation to the topic

After using the installer, one of the VPs for the FSPort was not downloaded. That one being Stu.vp

To answer your bottom question, FSPort is FS1 on FS2

Use the build that says "r" and not "d".

"Shivans" and "Twilight" are user-made campaigns. Missing them may leave you heartbroken but the game itself will work fine. Rerunning the installer would not take hours because it detects what you already have and will not redownload.

No.

Unfortunately it seems that those two campaigns don't have any mirrors and the one location for them has been down for a while, so I doubt rerunning the Installer will get you those campaigns in the near future. You can, of course, download them yourself from freespacemods.net, for example.
